"...Konig sat down slowly and put his head in his hand after the verdict was read...."

"...She said in testimony at his trial that she believed her husband wanted to render her unconscious before pushing her off the cliff...."

"...She said she suffered critical injuries in the attack and has since filed for divorce from her husband...."

"...Prosecutors said at the trial that she survived because a pair of hikers saw the assault happening on the trail, prompting Konig to stop...."

"...He fled the scene and was eventually arrested after a manhunt that lasted more than six hours...."

"...Witnesses corroborated Arielle Konig's account of what happened...."

"...One of them, Amanda Morris, said in her testimony that Konig was 'hitting [his wife] with a rock' when she saw them on the trail...."

"...Konig claimed self-defense when he took the stand last week, testifying that Arielle Konig grabbed his wrists, threw herself to the ground and hit him on the side of his face with a rock...."

"...When asked by his attorney if he 'reacted to defend' himself 'in the heat of the moment,' Konig replied, 'Yes.'..."

"...He also insisted he 'was not mad' when a prosecutor asked him if text messages that he thought hinted at his wife having an affair had angered him...."

"...He told the jury that he 'was upset' but had not planned to hurt Arielle Konig on the hiking trail that day and 'felt horrible' when he saw his wife bleeding...."
